Note: Rates are
the number of persons married per 1,000 population.
Beginning with
1978, marriage data for the U.S. include non-licensed marriages registered
in California. If non-licensed marriages were included in the 1977
total, the marriage rate would increase from 19.8 to 20.1.

1991-1999
U.S. data are provisional.

U.S. marriages from 2000-2007 were estimated using "Table 1300. Marriage and Divorce Rates by Country", U.S. Bureau of Census.

Starting in 2008, the number and rates of U.S. marriages are estimated using the U.S. Census Bureau, 2008-2011 American Community Survey figures and contain estimation error not indicated in the table.
